Grain elevator
for the north?
AgnL ulturc ( anada officials are study-
ing the feasibility of establishing a grain
elevator in the New Liskeard area of
northern Ontario.
"There is potential in this area for a
grain elevator to dean and dry locally -
grown grains as a replacement for
expensive grains now shipped in to meet
the needs of the local agriculture indus-
try," says Eugene Whelan, Agriculture
Minister.
"Northern Ontario now produces feed
grains in excess of local requirements."
The feasibility study will examine all
the criteria that would be required to
make the project a success, including soil
management, transportation needs and
existing grain handling facilities.
Whelan said we should examine every
possibility to help areas such as New
Liskeard meet their agricultural potential.
Northern Ontario is identified in Agricul-
ture Canada's Agri -Food Strategy as one
of the regions of the country that could be•
developed to extend the agricultural
production base.
